About Me

Daria Nastasia is a video editor and producer passionate about telling stories that are often unheard, with depth, clarity, and care.

She currently works as an Assistant Editor for Off the Map Media, where she assists with storytelling that connects audiences to the natural world. Daria has worked on feature documentaries such as Holding Liat (Berlinale Documentary Award, Oscar Shortlist) as well as in digital and broadcast journalism, including PBS News Hour, POLITICO, and More Perfect Union.

Daria graduated summa cum laude from George Washington University, where she studied Journalism, Political Science, and Film Studies. As a student, Daria spent two years as a Video Editing Intern for Planet Forward, a digital environmental journalism initiative, where she shot, edited, and produced both short- and long-form videos.

Her documentary short, The Ban, explores the racist history of swimming restrictions in the Potomac River and questions who has access to public resources. The film was featured at the D.C. Environmental Film Festival, the nation's largest environmental film festival. Her work has also led to opportunities with PBS News Hour as a Gwen Ifill Fellow and with Meridian Hill Pictures on a feature documentary, which won the top prize at Berlinale 2025.
